Well this is a design question really so several q's come to mind 1- are they managed by the same people? 2- What type of connection between the two farms.. or zones? 3- Is the sharing of licensing a concern? 4- Are you running the same flavors of MF Ron Oglesby Senior Technical Architect RapidApp Office 312.372.7188 Mobile 815.325.7618 email roglesby@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: Jensen, Jay [mailto:jjensen@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 10, 2003 3:48 PM To: Thin Client E-mail Group (E-mail) Subject: [THIN] Advantages between one or multiple farms HI gang, We have some people wondering if we should have one large farm (with multiple Zones) or multiple Farms. We currently have 35 servers in Zone 1 of a farm and about 5 servers currently in Zone 2. Zone 1 and Zone 2 will increase in time but I would guess 50 servers per zone will be the max. Do you recommend that we separate the two groups of servers by Farm rather then by Zone. What is the advantages and what are the disadvantages? Can you point me to documentation that may support either case? Thank You. Jay C.
